Post here if you can't find a Landroval Kinship

[Steinwulf]

Hey Recruiters,

I am looking for an RP-focused kinship. Problem is, I am a bit inexperienced (maybe even "raw") at RP'ing in an MMO environment - I've taken some shots at it on my own but it's just not what I had in mind, so I'd like to kick it up a notch. I like the game and I've tried 'grinding', but it's not all that fun without throwing RP into the mix, so I am looking for a light to medium RP kin that will be willing to take a newbie under their wing (I'd be more than willing to go with a 'heavy' RP kin if they promise to be patient with my blunders).

Here's my info:

Steinwulf/Level 38/Man/Lore Master
- Focused on RP
- I play anywhere from 16 to 24 hours a week, maybe more but I can't promise above 24.
- I tend to go solo a lot, experimenting with RP and a mix of grinding, but I am willing to adapt.
- I do have a back-story, which I think is acceptable to Tolkien lore. I believe my depth in the lore of this world is acceptable, but that may be up to the recruiters to decide (note: I do NOT want to join in with players that are not paying at least moderate respect to background lore Tolkien wrote out).
- I am 23 years of age, I'm a guy (you may have already figured that out), live in the USA Central Time zone, and my weekend is (at the moment) Wednesday through Friday (but I work looong days the rest of the week, so no promises of activity on work days).

Thanks for your time,

Steinwulf 'Singer'

[Eagodan]

Hey, LOTRingers!

I'm recently returned to the game. I was in Beta (joined January '07), but the guild I was with tired of LOTRO quickly and I went on to other things within a few months of release. F2P brought me back, and within two days I signed up for a VIP subscription, so I'm here to stay awhile. The game is even better than I remember, and I really enjoy the community I've seen here so far.

I'm 39, and have been MMOing since Ultima Online. I recently left a career in law enforcement (15 years, left as a lieutenant in the Houston Police Department) and moved to San Francisco to pursue my dream of drawing comic books full-time. That's going VERY well, and I've never been happier.

I'm looking for a Kinship that exclusively recruits good people who do the right thing because it's the right thing to do! If that means the Kinship is small--that's not a problem with me. I would *much* prefer to play with a smaller group of truly helpful and kind people than to have to deal with unkind folks in-Kin, so to speak.

I prefer "law and order" or "for the good of all"-themed guilds/kinships that do not compromise when it comes to being constructive, helpful and honorable members of the MMORPG community. When a kinship begins to admit poorly-behaved or downright mean folks solely in order to increase membership--regardless of what skills, wealth or influence that person may otherwise have--the the organization begins to crumble from within and cannot stand as an example of good behavior and honor.

I'm looking for a kinship that promises itself to never douse the flame of truth and honor in order to attract the zerg.

I truly enjoy RP. In fact, if I were able to experience LOTRO completely through my character, turning off /tells, /regional, and all non-interactive channels, I would. And I still might! I have noticed that some RP guilds/kinships create storylines to act out as part of their RP play. I am definitely not interested in this. I prefer to organically behave as my character in-game, and to have events play out normally from there. Pre-packaged RP "shake and bake" is not my thing.

I'm not interested in strict quasi-military kinship schemes. I protected and served for 15 years that I wouldn't trade for anything, but I'm not going to bring that into my playtime. If your group has to implement quasi-military rank and strict rules of address, etc. simply to operate, then it's likely that you're inviting the kind of player that I wouldn't be interested in playing with.

My in-game character is Waywocket Undertoe, Hobbit of the Shire, and Honorary Shirriff. He is new to adventuring, but if he does not strike out to fight against the Enemy, who will? The Sackville-Bagginses? Hmph! Waywocket is a Minstrel, and is currently level 20. He's particularly enjoying his Scholar crafting, and is quite addicted to dodging bad guys while collecting the lore found in the ruins of Middle-Earth. Sees himself as quite the archaeologist, it seems!

As I work from home, I don't have set play hours. I play between drawing pages or studying to be a better artist. Sometimes I'll play for 30 minutes, sometimes for two hours.

LOTRO has changed a lot since beta (Scholar Radar, hooray!), so I am essentially relearning the game from scratch, even though my account was started in January of '07. I sure would love to learn the rest of LOTRO while adventuring with a great group of friends and compatriots who try to do the right thing all the time.

Thanks for reading my picky "Kinship Want List". See you in Middle-Earth.

Oh, and even if you aren't interested in me as a member of your kinship, be sure to ask if you ever need my Minstrel services. I enjoy keeping groups alive and well, regardless of your kinship affiliation.

Thank you!

Waywocket

[Kazalin]

Vuno/Kazah, Hobbit, Minstrel/Burglar, and 27/34.

- Are you considering roleplaying, raiding, and/or player versus player combat?
I am open to all of the above, and especially PvMP since I played creep-side for three years already (on Arkenstone) I would like to experience PvMP whilst fighting amongst the ranks on the freep-side. Though, that is only if I manage to finally get a character to level sixty-five. Although I am open to everything, I do not want all of one thing. I may be open to an all-out PvMP kinship, though.

- How many hours a week do you play?
I do not really pay that much attention to play time, but I'd say I put in at least twenty hours or so a week.

- Playstyle (explorer, grind-heavy, soloer, etc)
I am explorer most of the time, barely am I ever a grinding heavily, and I usually am found solo until I reach the Mines of Moria. I love to explore the vast regions of Middle Earth that Turbine has provided us with, so it's not uncommon to find me doing so. I do not like to grind much because it wears me out and I feel the need to take a long break from the game, but sometimes if I really want to try and get through some levels, I can be found doing this. I am usually found solo until mid level fifties because the content is all extremely easy and there is no real need for me to group with others. However, once I get into the Mines of Moria I get extremely bored as.. I haven't a clue, but just being in the Mines gives me an, "Ugh.. I don't want to quest anymore. So boring!!". This is why my Guardian and Warden are both stuck on the same level.. and in the same place; the Mines of Moria.

- Various other information a kinship may find useful

Age: Sixteen.

Time Zone: EST -5.

School?: Yes. I am in my 3rd year of dual-enrollment in college and high school. I
will be obtaining my Associates and GED in the year 2012.

Microphone: Yes.

Mature?: People tell me I am all the time.

Interests: computers, computer programming, gaming, abnormal psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, philosophy of religion, moral philosophy, sociology, ancient history, the subconscious, and interrogation.

Personality: I'm rather laid-back, welcome jokes and sarcasm, and am quite the quiet/shy person. You usually won't find me talking much if I don't know everyone well yet, and sometimes even then I'm still a bit shy around some individuals. I usually warm up to everyone eventually though.


If you believe that I will fit into your kinship rather well I would love it if you would contact me either via PM here on the forums, or by sending me a tell/or mail in-game.

[Morthorn]

I'd love to find a relaxed, friendly kinship for my characters. Right now I am focused on Morthorn as he's my first and highest character at 48, but I also have two alts listed in my signature. Fair warning, I also play "that other game" and so my time will sometimes be split there depending on how bored I am with it at the time. Right now I'm playing LotRO full time though I'm not terribly interested in raiding, though I wouldn't mind doing some of the skirmishes and seeing the stuff I couldn't solo. I'm a roleplayer and writer, though I have extremely minimal knowledge of LotRO lore soooo... if you don't mind helping out there that would be awesome.

I'm located in the Eastern time zone, my playtimes are usually during the daytime, when the kids are at school, and nights... when they're in bed. I'm over 30 (I don't have to admit how much over, right?) and my SO plays as well when home from military duty.

You can message me here or send me a letter in-game if you'd like to talk!

[Laramith]

Warden lvl 35 elf female
Play anytime daily EST
Solo mostly but want a group that plays together .
Likes RP
Willing to help others to make group stronger.
Quiet when grinding but loves a good laugh.
Laramith

[SuilebhainFree]

Some of this was posted elsewhere, so please excuse the repetition if you have read my other post...

Currently I am a level 15 elf hunter named Suilebhain and have been stomping around Bree after being sent there by the good dwarves of Gondamon.

Roleplaying all the way is my goal. I enjoy a good raid, but would prefer to do so in-character rather than follow a scripted out plan designed to gather loot. I can take or leave PvP as it tends to be the least RP-friendly aspect of any game.

I play anywhere between 10-30 hours per week, usually. My play times are varied but usually weekday nights or different times on the weekend. I am on the East Coast US but usually start kinda late.

I love to explore and not much into the grind. I solo when I cannot find a good group, preferring to fail because I fail and not because someone runs me through a hoard of goblins and does not stop to help. Of course, I prefer a group that stays in character as much as hunaly possible.

I would like a kinship that uses Say over all other communications, even when in a fellowship. I prefer "face-to-face" RP rather than any kind of virtual guild hall device. I'm not into guilds that chit chat over a channel but do not gather. I also prefer that guild type things be done in character in the game, like meetings and ceremonies.

The ideal kinship would be a tight but friendly group that values their members. Too often I get into a guild that is only looking to swell ranks and once you are in you become a blip. Just saying "hey" over guild chat is not sufficient. I would prefer a small guild that actually teams with me than a giant guild that has weekly raids and calls that a clan gathering.

I am an older adult who works during the day so my playtime is all during the evening/night, East Coast time, or on the weekend. I try to maintain a balance between play and family, so weekend marathons are rare (though not unheard of).

[Civious]

Name: Ralgatha
Race: Mirkwood Elf
Class: Hunter
Level: 29
Home: Falathlorn Homesteads

Time Zone: EST

Looking for a mature kinship, medium RP. I am not well versed on all of the lore, and am not very experienced at RP, but I like to try. I play about 10-25 hours per week, time varies due to RL. Early am ~6-9 on weekends before the rest of the family drag their butts out of bed and randomly through the week, typically later in the evening ~8-10pm.

At the moment I am questing around Ost Guruth and LFF to finish a few fellowship quests in North Downs. My playstyle varies, I like exploring, questing and skirmish depending on the day. I do not care for grinding. I prefer to keep OOC at a minimum although do not mind it during "down times".

[Pennryt]

I have been an off an on Subscriber to LOTRO since it's launch, and recently came back to enjoy the game here and there with it's F2P model. Recently married, both my wife and I are currently Kinshipless, so I am here to look for a place for the both of us that don't mind a couple of Veteran MMO gamers that play casually.

- Ingame Name, Race, Class, and Current Level
You can find me on any of my characters, but mainly Tirandiur, a 33 Elven Warden, or Pennryt a 26 Elven Rune-keeper. I also have Herrogar, a 25 Race of man captain from my sporadic subs earlier in the games life. My wife has Anyka, a 26 Race of man champion.

- If you are considering role-playing, raiding, and/or player versus player combat
Neither one of us are really role-players. I might be able to raid, but it largely depends on the Kinship. Largely militaristic run guilds are a major turn off to me in any game, so if there are strict requirements, please count us out.

- How many hours a week do you play?
15-20 hours a week maybe, sometimes more, sometimes not at all. My wife really plays only on the weekends, so maybe 10 hours max for her, as a result, I have a character set aside for her when she wants to play. =P

- Playstyle (explorer, grind-heavy, soloer, etc)
I, myself, love to do anything and everything. My wife is more or less, a soloer/small groups person. But as I said we are playing casually under the F2P model, only dipping into our pool of TP to unlock new areas.

- Various other information a kinship may find useful
We don't care for drama, most guilds say they are drama free, but this is largely inaccurate. We really don't want anything than to just log on and play without being bombarded by "in game politics" or the "he said she saids". We are F2P players, but the idea of subbing is never out of of the question. Both my wife and I have experience in other online games, though my list is definitely a lot longer than hers.

- Optional - RL information such as Age, Time Zone, etc.
Age shouldn't be a deciding factor, we are both old enough to know better, but just to young to care. We are in GMT-5 (EST), English speaking, and mature (well, for the most part. ).

Bottom line: We aren't (too) picky, we just want to log on and have fun, and are more than capable of slinging you-know-what with the best of 'em. Editing the post, I made it sound like we are kinda sticks in the mud, lol, this is most certainly not the case. We are easy going and are hardly ever offended by jokes or language, we are just looking for a really flexible Kinship.

[baronden]

Greetings Landroval,
I've recently relocated to this wonderful server and am looking to get more immerse in the fabulous community you've got over here. My current 'main' is a 36 elven minstrel by the name of Rodariel, but should transfers open up again I'm likely to bring over my 65 warden (same name) from Firefoot. I did so enjoy the warden but never felt like I fit in on firefoot.
I'm ideally looking for a friendly and casual kin of adults that understands you sometimes have to go afk as life trumps dungeons now and then. I generally solo but am actively trying to group more this time through to see more of the world. I have little to no interest in raids as a wow refugee that grew tired of the 'raid or nothing else counts' environment over there. In addition, while I am on the east coast I have crazy work hours that inconsistently scatter my play time from early mornings to late nights and all points in between, depending on the day
While not an active roleplayer I do respect it. Above able on that front I'm a huge fan of immersion and Tolkien's world. I really want a kin that has a naming policy to avoid outlandish or lore breaking character names.

Drop me a line here or in game at Rodariel and I'd love to hear about your crew.

[Fredk]

Hello All.

Character Info
Name: Bels / Race: Man / Class: Captain / Level: 13

Activities I'm Considering: I'm a big fan of being around RP folks, but I've never given it a try myself. Probably a bit timid about whether I can contribute anything or not, but I'd be willing to give it a try.

I would eventually like to do some raiding, but I'm not a big PvP guy.

Hours: Usually at least an hour a day, sometimes much more. Generally evenings US central time.

Play style: I just recently came back to LOTRO (I subscribed for a month back before it went free to play) so I don't know that I've found my exact playstyle, but in other MMO's I've generally enjoyed running instance/dungeon content above most other activities. I'm solo/quest grinding a lot right now in an attempt to level.

Various other information: I would like a group of relatively older folks who are friendly. I might need some guidance as I'm a relative noob to both LOTRO and Tolkien's setting. Like I said I have a lot of respect for the RP community and wouldn't mind giving it a whirl, but I'm also open to non-rp kins as long as they are respectful of the RP community. I would also like a kin with a naming policy so I don't end up running around with "xxxDUDEkillah77xxx".

Personal Information: Age 27 / Time Zone US Central

Thanks all and please send me a mail or an IM if you think I might fit in with your group.

[SirBeegus]

hey all

been grinding it out alone, but am definitely missing out on fun parts of this game by not being in a kin - I want in!

Main is Marthanor, Lvl 31 LoreMaster of the race of Men (Explorer vocation).

I've been doing a lot of things solo, but like the grouping when I've been able to. I'm a bit of a completionist, but am also curious to get into roleplaying and pvp (and raiding too, if it doesn't involves use of a mic).

I'm on regularly, but not super heavy - 5-10 hours a week. Would prefer a relaxed mid-sized, respectful, mature kin (I'm over 30).

(I also have a lower level hobbit minstrel, but I keep getting distracted by alt toons, so I'm trying to focus on my main)

[Aethyrion]

I'm looking for an old-timer's kinship for relaxed and social teaming. Here's the details:

Aethwin, level 25 Minstrel (Race of Man, Tinker.)

I've soloed to now but I love experiencing content and now that I'm at the Barrows level I'm eager to jump into instances. I admit I'm nervous though - I've never played a healing class and the middle of a fight in the Great Barrow seems a bad place to muddle through an unfamiliar team interface and randomly mash buttons. I want my teammies to live!

I haven't RPed in-game yet but I'm RP friendly and up for light to medium RP. I am a lifelong Tolkien nerd however so I know the lore! I'm not a huge fan of PvP but I'll give it an honest try.

I play, um, a lot. I'm around afternoon to fairly late night Eastern time, overlapping with Pacific primetime hours.

In terms of playstyle, I happily solo while chatting, I enjoy instance runs, exploring, crafting and deed collecting. I find grinding/farming boring. Some nights I may just find a stage and play music to passersby while sipping tea. I've just recently started playing around with .abc files and would love to play with a band some time! I've never raided in this game but I'd be interested when I get to those levels.

I'm new to modern LotRO but I was in early beta and I'm very happy that the elves are no longer bald. :P I have a VIP account but don't have Moria yet. I have MMO experience in other games (City of Heroes - supergroup leader, global channel operator, multiple level 50s, lots of raid experience. WoW - level 80 Mage. Raid-ready but dang I hated that game.)

I'm interested in an kinship with an older average age level. I'm over forty, and would enjoy people whose age and life experience is closer to my own. If your kinship is broadminded and social, if you have zero tolerance for jerks and griefers, if you think gaming is as much about the journey as the destination, then maybe we're a fit.

[Adrelas]

Thank you for your interest, I have now found a home.

Safe travels!

[jtown7]

Chasend, Warden born in the Dale-lands, lvl 35 at time of post

I am an adult looking for a social to adventuring RP kin. Only kins of lawful non-chaotic goals inquire please. Also, a major factor is trying to find a kin with a great name as I have to see it below my name whenever I play.

I generally adventure solo and grind out deeds, charging headlong into battle with any enemy of the free peoples. I would like to group up to experience ALL of the instances LoTRO has to offer.

I am looking for adventuring companions to share a laugh and a conversation but also to do some serious destruction of evil and its minions.

[Gohankuten]

Gohankuten Level 26(soon to be 27) Elf Hunter Armsman

I mainly solo but I have found doing GBs fun but it takes ages to get a group together. I don't like RP so I would prefer to be in a kinship that either doesn't require RP or has very little RP. I play at least an hour a day but most of the time it's more. I live in the US in the Central time zone. I am a college student that will be graduating with my bachelors in a year's time so sometimes my classes will result in less play time.

[Gjallarhorn]

Hello,

I am looking for a kinship.

Character name: Legrintail
Race: Elf
Class: Hunter
Current Level: 34
Roleplaying preference: Medium
Raiding: Occasional
PvP: Occasional
Hours per week: 0 - 14
Playstyle: Lazy
RL age: 30
Time zone: EST


I'm looking for kinship that can offer grouping and RP, in that order.

My playtime is dictated by real life, and I can only play sporadically. I am likely to play every night one week, then disappear entirely the next week. My playtimes are most likely to range from 9 - 10pm EST until midnight or 1am. Sometimes, I will be in-game, but looking to solo instead of group.

I have been playing MMORPGs for over a decade, starting with MUDs, moving to the Realm, then EQ1, then EQ2. However, I'm new to LotRO, and I'd love a kinship that is willing to offer occasional advice to a newbie.

From an RP standpoint, my character has a vanilla Elven backstory. However, she is affected by nightmares and visions of the coming evil. She sleepwalks as though possessed, and this might sometimes lead her down a dark path. Most of the time, you'd never know it, she'd be Lawful Good. Still, I would like a kinship that will not give me the boot the first time she kills and eats a Hobbit.

I have no problems staying IC for long periods of time. I also have no issue with dropping OOC to discuss game mechanics, or even just to indulge in general chatter.

I can listen to voice chat, but I don't currently have a microphone.

Thanks!

[Reavier]

- Reavier, Elf, Rune Keeper, level 17
- I roleplay, and will consider PvP and raids at a higher level.
- depends on my work schedule, but usually quite a bit.
- Playstyle: definitely explorer or grinder(for the little titles and such)
- I haven't written Reavier's bio yet, it's very vague as of now, so it can be moldable to fit in better with the Kinship, the only thing so far is that while he's very kind, he has a horrible temper.
- Optional - real age is 18, time zone is eastern standard.

[RedAxe88]

Character Name: Thagdor Hammersmasher
Race: Dwarf
Level: 16 and rising
Class: Guardian
Heavy Roleplayer

I'm looking for either an active Dwarven Kinship or a heavy RP Guild that is welcoming of us Dwarves

[Hildrun]

Two of us: Hildrun the Lore-Master, and Jeha the Guardian; both human and currently level 36. We are in the US and usually play most evenings, and almost always together. Away from the computer we're both 29, and married.

We would like a light/medium RP kin; it's important to us that there are people around who are chatty and friendly in an OOC capability too, as we love being able to talk while we're off adventuring! We also enjoy leveling, exploring, and crafting, and will probably be interested in some end-game raiding eventually.

Our characters are firmly on the side of good, and could easily fit into mixed-race kin (we're both especially fond of hobbits!). I especially have a lot of roleplaying experience both on the computer and off, and would be willing to help with storylines and so on in the future.

- I'm looking for a medium/heavy role-play. I've roleplayed before in my life but this is my first time of a game like this. I want to stay in character and develop my characters (their background stories will continue to change as I do more LOTR research =P and interact with others in the game).
- I play as much as I can during the week, But if I am busy, then obviously I won't be online.
- I can't explain my playstyle but I like to explore Middle Earth. I'm not much into fighting, but I don't mind it. I'm really excited to roleplay storylines, though. I also want to get to know other players, but sometimes I like to do things on my own or with a small group, too.
